A fast, brush-pen script with a pronounced rightward slant and lively, high-contrast strokes. Letterforms are narrow and rhythmic, with pointed terminals, occasional dry-brush texture, and sweeping entry/exit strokes that create a sense of motion even when characters are not fully connected. Capitals are prominent and gestural, while the lowercase keeps a compact, short-bodied look with tall ascenders/descenders and frequent looped forms. Numerals follow the same handwritten logic, showing angled construction and tapered ends that match the brushy ductus.
Best suited to short-to-medium display text where its brush texture and motion can be appreciated—posters, hero headlines, packaging accents, social graphics, and title treatments. It can also work for pull quotes or signatures where a personal, emphatic handwritten feel is desired, but may be less comfortable for small-size body copy due to the busy stroke contrast and compact proportions.
The overall tone is energetic and informal, like quick, confident handwriting made with a flexible marker. Its sharp turns and emphatic swashes give it a slightly dramatic, vintage-flavored flair that reads as bold and personal rather than refined or corporate.
Designed to mimic quick brush lettering with strong directional movement, emphasizing personality and impact over typographic neutrality. The form language suggests an intention to deliver an expressive, handwritten voice that stays legible while retaining spontaneous stroke character.
Stroke behavior varies across letters in a natural way, with heavier downstrokes and lighter hairlines that can create a textured, slightly rugged edge in larger sizes. The spacing is relatively tight and the slant is consistent, helping words form a cohesive, forward-leaning line despite the expressive shapes.
